Sorry mate, you definitely saw 2 Lambos but they arn't Murcielagos. They are gallardos, one is mine and one is my dads. Mine has the tinted windows and tubi exhaust.

Spotted a blue R31 GTS at the detailers today. Best looking Skyline ever produced.

Spot on

I edited it for you. I take cash to buy a car, I wouldn't say i'm hard done by... Finance may work for you, and it may work for a lot of other buyers, but it is no way any better than cash for the rest of us, not to mention walking into a dealer with a bag of cash, you end up getting the best price each and every time. Prices that you can't get with finance. You know exactly how much the car will cost you, there are no surprises, and no one can take it away from you. Finance generally seems to work with people who earn a wage and have to answer to a boss of some sort and can not hide some of their income. The most expensive thing with high priced cars is depreciation. If you have to finance a car to afford it or think it will end up in your favor, then buy something cheaper because you can't absorb the depreciation. I was always taught NEVER to borrow on anything that will not MAKE you money. That advice seems to be doing me well despite what so called experts and advisors say. A good acountant and lawyer are the only advisors anyone will need. What works for one person does not work for another. And when you get into real cars, (Australian) finance doesn't want to touch them anyway, even if they are a collectors item and increasing in value.

Just looked into it more, 0% interest. 50% now and 50% in two years time, explicitly says " You pay 50% of the purchase price + full on road costs, government charges and finance costs of $200. You pay the remaining 50% in two years time without any interest". Then says * Offer applies to new passenger vehicles (excl AMG, G-Class and Viano). Finance to approved customers of Mercedes-Benz Financial Services Australia PTY LTD" It is being done here to boost sales, apparently it boosted sales in the US over the last two years as Mercedes Makes the money out of the car instead of the finance. Toyota/Lexus used something similar to boost sales after their cars kept killing people. Looks like the dealer gets the same money, the buyer saves quite a bit, and the finance section breaks even (which is part of Mercedes Australia). Overall makes sense. Too bad the new CLS doesn't arrive here untill August. For someone who is cashed up or expects to be able to cover it in two years it is fine. In my case if I was going to buy a new merc, i'd use this offer even though I don't like finance because I am not out of pocket to those stupid finance interest fees and in the mean time I can still use 50% of the cars value to keep investing instead of it being tied up in a car.

Black R35 at Crowsnest today. Plates "DEMIRZ"

Well I didn't say the words "in most circumstances" just for fun.... Only lease worth it at the moment is Mercedes finance, where you pay NO INTEREST, I didn't bother reading the fine print or anything. But if it is truely no interest then there is no issue, in fact you'd be better off.

Cash is king, leasing a car doesn't make sense in most circumstances.

Not really a supercar, but the engine is anyway. Picked up a new daily driver yesterday, got rid of the Nazi CLS for an Alies made car. 6.0 litre W12 cylinder twin turbo.

White R35 on Silverwater road this morning.

I bought this one a couple years ago for nearly $500. http://www.justjap.c...&cat=261&page=1 Never got it fitted or painted. Includes LED brake light. Offer?

Should do that if you have just bought a car 2nd hand anyway as you never know what run ins the old owner has previously had, weather it be cops (hooning), disgruntled employees, road rage, gambling debts etc....

If it only needs a blue slip (from any mechanic), don't you have a relationship with a good workshop that will just give you one? Assuming it doesn't need to go to the pits?

Wikipedia says that season 5 has the go ahead for filming.... wohoo

No way you must be blind lol

Oh you haven't seen the latest? That car got crashed, so he bought a new one, Smashed the headlight out and for now the cars paint is fresh.....

That is for 1 or 2 days rental, $800 each for more than 5 days, and that is the advertised price. They'd easily take $600 during mid week. Excess is only a problem if you can not drive a car without damaging it, in which case don't hire it lol. Also the advertised car doesn't have crappy promotional material all over it (devaluing the price you can get for the car and chance of someone wanting to rent that car when usually someone hires these cars not only for the hell of driving it, but also to be seen and to live a fantasy of what it is like to have others thinking that you own the car) and restricting the functions or power of the car will render the car more undesireable to rent as it isn't the car it is meant to be. I could not consciously pay a decent rental price for a restricted version of a R35 with promotional advertising sprawled all over it. I doubt anyone would. Although if it were $200 a day or something you would at least have the car advertising for you as it would probably be booked out 7 days a week.

Does this answer your question?

Case of VB :banana:

Here I fixed the post up for you lol. Just kidding i'm sure you'll pass them the replacement warranty wheel instead now lol

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/183745-supercar-spotted-thread/page__st__820 I change cars often, been with these for a while now (untill my next order comes through at the end of the year)

The OP was talking about a series 2 R33, so talking about R34 gtr clutches don't really help the OP lol. Nissan OEM and the standard exedy clutch are similar and price is similar. The HD when I bought it a while back was meant to have off memory 25% stronger clamping over stock (could be marketing ploy but I have never had it slip where as the stock one would slip a long time before it was due) Done 60 000km on the exedy HD so far so even if the organic compound of the clutch is the same as a stock one, maybe the extra clamping capacity that stops it from slipping also prolongs the life of the clutch as sliping wares a clutch faster? With a mildy modded car i'd definately get the HD from my experience and for value for money, for a stock car the stock clutch is fine. I'm used to paying anywhere from $4k - $12k for a clutch installed on some of my other cars, so for me $800 ish installed for my R33 is a steal. Alternatively I can swap the R33 for a clutch on one of the other cars???

Might be different with r33's and r34's. But I took mine to a guy on these forums, we did it together and it was dead simple. As long as you find a hole in the fire wall it is easy, I used a sandwhich plate on my oil filter for oil temp, put a hose insert in the radiator hose, and for the boost i just tapped into a hose that runs up near the power steering colum. You need hot water plummers tape incase there are leaks, a "T" joint. I just asked Just Jap for all the bits I would need to get all the gages working properly. Simple and cheap and simple to do yourself if you understand what you need to do before you start. I'd assume most of the R33 and R34 layout under the engine bay is pretty similar. I can take some pics and post them here tomorrow if it helps? Otherwise check with an R34 owner to see if there is an easier way to do it as the R34's already have some gauges installed (i don't remember which ones they have)...

It went up for sale last week, I don't know what the owner is doing with it? So far I have seen it all over sydney and others have seen it around as well so i'd imagine it has quite a lot of km's on it already for a car that was complied this year and first registered on the 19th of January (nearly 3 months old and already up for sale). Maybe the owner realised he couldn't afford the repayments on a riced up version of an exotic? The white is different and good in it's own right, but it doesn't show off the lines and curves of the car, and the black roof just looks stupid, it is just paint not carbon fibre or anything special. A great car that has been molested (and only 3 months old ) Poor car

$700 for a stock clutch? I paid $850 for Exedy Heavy Duty clutch/pressure plate/ Thrust bearing installed, flushed brakes, topped up all fluid levels (I know these arn't any big deal but still...) This was through a company with GST tax invoice. I'm sure you could still find cheaper if you looked but I was in a hurry. I definately wouldn't pay $700 for the standard Nissan one though. I was quoted about $450-$500 for the stock Nissan one installed by the same guys in Sydney. I really wasn't impressed with the stock nissan one and then I was only pushing 200rwkw and it couldn't handle that.
